Lately I've treated myself to a selection of new cookbooks and isn't it just the best browsing amazon and adding them to the cart? Not to mention when the postman delivers them! It was the title of one of my new books that caught my eye, Fat Witch Brownies. The book is based on the Fat Witch Bakery in NY who are known for their brownies, blondies and bars. I had never heard of this NY bakery or the book before now but glad I stumbled upon it. Of course the first bake from the book had to be their signature recipe, Fat Witch Brownies, which just so happened to be the first one in the book.

This brownie recipe was easy and straight forward, although I had a minor mishap when I got ahead of myself, either that or I need glasses and I doubled the amount of flour required. This is the reason they were not as gooey as I was expecting and more of a dense cakey brownie. Either way they were still a hit with my son, hubby and hubby’s work colleagues!

Most of you will have experienced the problems with blogger these last couple of days, with many losing posts and not being able to blog or comment. Unfortunately my original version of this post and its comments was lost and not recovered (not impressed blogger)!! Could I ask if anyone who originally commented could help in re-posting their thoughts. :-)

They look great! For some reason a few months ago I forgot the amount of sugar and flour in my standard brownie recipe and just added as much as I fancied at the time. I don't know what I did but they were the best I ever made! And when I went to replicate it the next time they were the same as always. Boo!

I've just read your entire blog from start to finish and I love it! I'm an American who grew up in the UK, so browsing your recipes is like visiting 'home.' These brownies look wonderful - I may have to give them a try!

Great name and lovely sounding brownies too. I'm very frustrated with blogger. I too lost a post and quite a few comments from various posts. Just can't bring myself to rewrite at the moment. They've said they've restored all posts, but they haven't restored mine - grrrr!

I was sure I left a comment here. It must have been one of the ones lost down the black hole called blogger. These are fab Maria. That cookbook turned out to be a good one, so you can pat yourself on the back for expert cookbook choosing. I hope the other two turn out as good. Oh, how I want one of these now.

I've been keeping track of your blog since a year...I love everything you create..from you beautiful colorful blog to your exquisite irresistible desserts. I have to say this recipe turned out brilliant. I was beside myself with the decadent melt in the mouth morsels. Especially after pepping myself with a bucket of courage for trying out a new recipe. Thank you!
